Scott Henshall

It was a really good touch taking us to the six star hotel to see how the celebrities were enjoying themselves after leaving the jungle, seeing the people who were important to them and best of all, their reaction to ‘real food’. Most of them tucked into the enormous breakfast buffet but Jan Leeming settled for a bowl of fruit before heading for the hotel for a luxury bath and then off with her friend on a shopping spree. VIP treatment all the way.

Spoilt and eccentric David Gest had friends and staff running frantically around his luxurious quarters, throwing out unsuitable pillows, blankets, ordering extra towels and everything had to be laid out ‘just so’.

Scott Henshall was worrying about meeting up with Phina Oruche for round two, expecting more bites and scratches, but was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a hug and a kiss. The paparazzi went wild over both Myleene Klass (whose boyfriend forgot to bring the engagement with him, Myleene had said she would love to get married in the jungle) and Phina, photographing them in various bikinis and glamorous positions.

Faith Brown had to leave the hotel early to return home for her husband’s scheduled hip operation. She said would have loved to stay longer but her husband was her first priority.

The family celebrities were joyously welcomed by the children in their lives, all enjoying the many luxury facilities of the hotel. Lauren Booth radiated happiness at being with her children as did Dean Gaffney.

Matt Willis was a King indeed. King of the jungle and fussed over wherever he went. Although we were all surprised at his winning, as he had not been placed very high by the bookies, he made a great king, excelling in his last trial of bug eating.

Reunited with Toby Anstis, the four musketeers (Jason Donovan, Toby Anstis, David and Matt) were soon romping around boisterously.

We did not see much of Malandra Burrows, but with that gorgeous hunk all over her, can we blame her?

We left the remaining celebrities partying together and eating non stop.

Sad to say, we will just have to wait for the next ‘I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!’ to be able to enjoy jungle life, safely from our chairs in front of the TV with refreshments, in abundance, close at hand. It will be good to see you again in the jungle, Ant and Dec!!!

Successfully retrieving the Chest, the celebrities were given a parcel from their loved ones as well as a letter from someone special and all were thrilled with their treats which included strawberries, Tabasco sauce, chocolate cake, biscuits…and a Pot Noodle!

The celebrities were told that each of their letters must be read out by another of the celebrities and the tears were soon flowing.

Jason got particularly emotional, bursting into tears as he was shown a photograph of his partner Angela and children, waiting for him at the Versace hotel. Matt also had a tear in his eye as he was read a heartfelt emotional letter from his girlfriend Emma.

Phina read Myleene’s letters from her parents - Magdalena and Oscar - and fiancée Graham. She burst into floods of tears as soon as Phina began reading.

The letter from her parents read: “We have been watching you all while still in the UK and have enjoyed it tremendously. The night sky is beautiful here especially the Orion display. Perhaps when you gaze up into the sky tonight you might think of the words of Miss Saigon and think of breathing in the same air as us tonight as you are so close.�

Fiancee Graham sent a letter to his “Jungle Bunny� telling her to “have fun, stay strong and I miss you big time. I’m even eating less in support of you.�

“It was just so overwhelming because it’s like you have been institutionalised,� she said. “You are so used to seeing the same greenery and faces and suddenly ‘Wham’ you get a taste of home.�

Lauren read David’s letters from pals Tito Jackson and Jane Russell and he looked emotional, especially when he heard that Michael Jackson had been watching his jungle antics.

His first letter from Tito Jackson read: “Respect to you for staying in the jungle and not leaving in the first six hours. But you must have a hundred and one reasons for staying there and everyone sends their love. My kids think you are the best Uncle in the world for doing this at your age and after all you have been through in the past few years. David, how are you coping without the maid and the chef? Have you told them about Vaginika Seaman yet? Michael was watching you on TV in London recently and told me: ‘That man never changes but I wish him all the best and would love to see him win the show as he has come a long way in that jungle. Rather him than me. Ha ha ha’.�

Matt looked particularly upset and had a definite tear in his eye as Faith read his letter from his girlfriend Emma.

“To my gorgeous boy, I can’t quite believe we haven’t spoken for over a week. I’ve been utterly lost not having you around and there is a whopping great hole permanently next to me that only you can fill so make sure you don’t lose too much weight mate. I’ll finish this note by saying spending this much time away from you has only confirmed for me even more that I don’t want to be without you again. I don’t work without you. You are the love of my life and I’m so proud of you for staying true to who you are and not putting on an act for the cameras. I love you with all of my heart, body and soul from my head to my toes and back. I love you Matthew.� Emma xxxx.

Jan read Jason’s letters and he was already in tears before she had even begun because of the photograph that he had seen of his family at the Versace hotel where they and all the other friends and family were waiting for their loved ones to return.

“Dear Daddy, I miss you so much that I’m keeping a diary so you don’t miss anything I’ve done while you’re in the jungle. I love you so much. Gemma.�

“Dear Daddy, I love you so much and I’ve lost another tooth. Love from Zac.�

“J, I think the kids have said the important stuff. We all miss and love you so much. Love always, Angela.�

Phina was also blubbing as Myleene read her letter from friend Frances: “Your friends and family are so proud of you and remember the big guy is looking on. The Toxteth massive are threatening to parachute food into camp. Stefano promises to spoil you like a Princess when you get out of the jungle.�

David read Lauren’s letter from her husband Craig: “Everyone back home sends their love. You’re my, and the girls, Queen of the Jungle. The girls miss you loads but they are telling anyone who will listen that you are in the jungle and they have come to Oz to rescue you and you are the best mummy in the whole world. Not just waiting but aching to see you. Love you to the Mars.�

Malandra read Dean’s letter from his twin girls Charlotte and Chloe which also saw him filling up: “Hi Daddy, we think you are doing really well. Keep up the good work. When you’d done the trial we thought you was going to faint. It was very funny. We are all very proud of you so be careful of the spiders and the snakes and we all love you so, so much. Much love from Chloe, Char and Mummy.�

Matt read Faith’s letter from partner Len and she got so choked during the reading that she couldn’t even speak.

“It seems so long since you left. I miss you so much. You seem to be doing so well. We’d like to see more of you when you let your hair down.�

Scott read Jan’s letter from friend Sue:

“Everyone I know is backing you to overcome whatever else you have to do. Keep focussed and you may even become Queen of the Jungle. But if not, you’ve proved yourself to be one amazing woman.�

Jan read Scott’s letter and he was thrilled to hear from his best friend Hofit. The letter was a fitting end to all of the letters from home and the celebrities had a laugh listening to it.

“Who would have thought that my favourite pampered Princess would last in the jungle this long. I miss my partner in crime, my gossip buddy. I can see that you have settled well and adjusted to your new home. Who could have ever thought you could live with eleven strangers and now five straight men! Everyone is cheering you on and no matter what happens now Scotty, you are Queen of the Jungle.�

War is raging in the two camps with much hostility between the teams and within the camps. Phina Oruche and Jan Leeming are at loggerheads, tears from those missing family and friends and male concern for Jan, in the all female camp. It is getting a lot tougher now, with much fighting, tears, bickering, hunger and frayed nerves. The next Bushtucker trial will mean the winner’s camp will be immune from the first eviction, so competitiveness has reached boiling point.

After a hearty, sea food feast and sound sleep, in the women’s Snake Rock Camp and rice in the men’s Base Camp, the women awoke with full tummies, singing and dancing whereas the men opened their eyes in misery, empty tums and complaining of no energy. There was concern for David Gest who would not eat anything until Matt Willis managed to feed him a couple of spoons of rice. (I DO WISH THEY HAD THEIR NAMES ON THEIR CLOTHES IN THE FRONT AS WELL AS THE BACK SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHO IS WHO especially when it comes to Matt and Toby Ansis).

One by one, the men trudged off to the Bush Telegraph Room to complain of their hunger, failing health and energy, with Scott declaring that he would fight to the death to bring food back for the men. Jan, wailing in exasperation, at the end of her energy, crying buckets, saying that the public were trying to break her by voting her to do all the trials and Phina, unsussessfully attempted to console her by stating that they enjoyed watching her but she could not be comforted and it ended with a really nasty argument between them.

Phina suggested that Jan either feigned fainting or refused to do the next trial. Scott Henshall adamantly stated that if the trial was eating bugs, then the girls could win, in spite of the men living on ‘the delusion of eating, in their dreams’. The Bushtucker Duel meant that the two contestants had to out-eat the other, to win. Both refused to eat the locusts and kangaroo testicles, anus, balls, eyes and tongue. They consumed a gooey grub-smoothie, smelling of dirty feet and a foul cheesy, mouth burning fruit, earning two stars respectively but Scott won the contest by adding a silk worm to his meal, jumping up and down and stamping his feet to down it, earning a third star. Poor little things, referring to the silkworms.

They had been urged by Ant and Dec to eat more of the ‘feast’, as many had done in the past, everything being safe to eat. Jan and Scott remained immovable. Jan suggested that Ant and Dec try it and asked if they ever had, to be told ‘don’t be ridiculous, of course not’. Scott arrived back at camp, jubilantly shouting his victory and three stars, to the guys, too weak to do more than lie on their beds murmuring, ‘Good work Scott’. Jan explained to the girls that in spite of her agent telling her otherwise, the insects, etcetera, were the ‘the real thing’. Her fellow campers were very sympathetic and thrilled to be getting two meals to share amongst the six.

The men have been boasting of three wins out of five but they did not get their questions correct for the treats in the two chests, so lost out. Toby and Dean Gaffney brought back the treat chest after fighting it out with Myleene Klass and Phina. Myleene remarked on how the two men had been shouting at each like ‘a married couple’ Each team had to carry a life sized dummy up and down the banks in the jungle, detangling it from the strings they had to follow, till they could unlock the padlock with the attached key. The girls were not physically able to cope, as much as they wanted the chilled champagne and large slab of chocolate. Unfortunately, the men lost out too as they, once again, did not get the question right. The men were really disappointed at getting the question wrong but whooped loudly in delight to dupe the girls into thinking think that they had. It worked. All, bar David, enjoyed their meal of avocado, potatoes and emu sausages. As starving as he was, David would not eat the emu sausage. Looking pale and frail, he had both camps worrying about him.

The trial for immunity will have twelve stars in the murky river water, ‘What Lurks Beneath’, guarded by alligators amongst other challenges and the person chosen by the public from each team, will have to dive for the stars. Malandra Burrows (named after MALcolm, dad and sANDRA, Mom) was hoping to be chosen for this trial but Phina was the publics choice to compete against her ‘arch enemy’, Scott Will the fluff fly again, after the notorious battle where these two fought over a treat chest, leaving Scott bitten and scratched. Scott threw his hat to the ground, in anger at having to do the trial with Phina who did an exhilarating war dance. Let the games begin!!!

The British public keep throwing it at her but it seems to just be making Jan Leeming go from strength to strength. Today she beat Scott in the trial ‘Catch a Falling Star’, bringing dinner home to the girls at Snake Rock while the boys got nothing.

It was perhaps the most spectacular of the trials so far this series – involving a head-to-head tandem freefall from 14,000 feet. Separately each celebrity had to jump out of a plane and once they got to 12,000 feet, a parachute was deployed with the celebrity having the task of catching a series of streamers as they sailed towards them on the way down to land.

With six possible streamers to catch, the celebrity that landed with the most streamers would be the one to take dinner back to camp.

With Jan and Scott in flying suits they did the challenge one by one and landed unsure as to who had won. Jan was astounded to hear she had been victorious by catching four out of six streamers to Scott’s three out of six.

Jan said afterwards: “I’m delighted I got the food for the girls but I feel a bit sorry for the boys because they are bigger and they need food more than we do.�
